Physics
A. Electromagnetic
B. Strongest but short range
C. Gravitational
D. Long range
Answer: Nuclear force is the strongest force in nature but operates only over very short range (~10⁻¹⁵ m).
Physics
A. Tesla
B. Weber
C. Henry
D. Gauss
Answer: Magnetic flux Φ = B·A, SI unit is Weber (Wb) = T·m²
Physics
A. 0.511 MeV
B. 5.11 MeV
C. 0.000511 MeV
D. 51.1 MeV
Answer: m₀c² = 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ × (3 × 10⁸)² / (1.6 × 10⁻¹³) ≈ 0.511 MeV
Physics
A. Faraday\'s law
B. Lenz\'s law
C. Ohm\'s law
D. Coulomb\'s law
Answer: Lenz\'s law gives the direction of induced current, while Faraday\'s law gives the magnitude of induced EMF.
Physics
A. Position and momentum can be measured exactly
B. The product of uncertainties in position and momentum has a minimum value
C. Energy cannot be measured
D. Time is absolute
Answer: Δx · Δp ≥ h/4π. Position and momentum cannot both be known with arbitrary precision simultaneously.
Physics
A. Twice the threshold frequency
B. Half the threshold frequency
C. The threshold frequency
D. Three times the threshold frequency
Answer: At threshold frequency f₀, KE = hf₀ - φ = 0. The photon energy just equals the work function.
Physics
A. 10 Ω
B. 20 Ω
C. 30 Ω
D. 40 Ω
Answer: P/Q = R/S → 10/20 = 15/S → S = 30 Ω
Physics
A. 2 protons and 1 neutron
B. 1 proton and 2 neutrons
C. 2 protons and 2 neutrons
D. 3 protons and 0 neutrons
Answer: Atomic number 2 means 2 protons; neutrons = mass number - protons = 3 - 2 = 1 neutron.
Physics
A. Speed of particle
B. Charge of particle
C. Both speed and radius
D. Mass of particle
Answer: T = 2πm/qB is independent of both speed and radius. It depends only on m, q, and B.
Physics
A. 1:1
B. 2:1
C. 1:2
D. 4:1
Answer: λ = h/√(2qVm). λp/λα = √(qα/qp) = √(4e/e) = 2. So ratio is 2:1.
Physics
A. Same atomic number
B. Different atomic number
C. Same mass number
D. Same number of protons and neutrons
Answer: In radioactive decay, the daughter nucleus has a different atomic number (and often different mass number) than the parent.
Physics
A. 121.6 nm
B. 656.3 nm
C. 486.1 nm
D. 102.6 nm
Answer: 1/λ = R(1/1² - 1/2²) = R(3/4) → λ = 4/(3R) ≈ 121.6 nm (Lyman alpha line).
Physics
A. No two electrons can have same energy
B. No two electrons can have same set of quantum numbers
C. All electrons have same spin
D. Only two electrons can exist in an atom
Answer: Pauli exclusion principle: no two electrons in an atom can have identical values of all four quantum numbers.
Physics
A. 1:4
B. 1:16
C. 4:1
D. 16:1
Answer: E₄/E₂ = (1/4²)/(1/2²) = (1/16)/(1/4) = 4/16 = 1/4. So E₄:E₂ = 1:4
Physics
A. Energy of particle
B. Probability density of finding the particle
C. Momentum of particle
D. Velocity of particle
Answer: |ψ|² gives the probability density, meaning the probability of finding the particle at a given location.
Physics
A. Photoelectric effect
B. Fine structure of spectral lines
C. Blackbody radiation
D. Compton effect
Answer: Electron spin was introduced to explain the fine structure of spectral lines and the anomalous Zeeman effect.
Physics
A. Alpha
B. Beta
C. Gamma
D. All are equal
Answer: Gamma rays are the most penetrating because they are neutral, high-energy photons with no charge or mass.
Physics
A. T
B.
C.
D. T⁴
Answer: Stefan-Boltzmann law: E = σT⁴. Energy radiated is proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature.
Physics
A. Magnetic field only
B. Electric field only
C. Both electric and magnetic fields
D. Nuclear field
Answer: EM waves carry energy in both electric and magnetic fields, equally divided between them.
Physics
A. Currents are in same direction
B. Currents are in opposite direction
C. One current is zero
D. Conductors are perpendicular
Answer: Parallel currents attract and anti-parallel currents repel each other.
